Case contract

Green-up a matched back bet by laying at a later price (both > 1, else "invalid"). The equal-profit lay stake is back_stake * back_price / lay_price rounded half up to a cent. Using that rounded lay stake: liability = lay_stake * (lay_price - 1), profit if the selection wins = back_stake * (back_price - 1) - liability, profit if it loses = lay_stake - back_stake. Money values are exact then rounded half up to cents. Return [lay_stake, liability, profit_win, profit_lose].

Why this case matters
